Evaluation Report

Murray Saunders, July 2000

An evaluation report commenting on the project's activities.
The focus for this strand of the evaluation is on what was experienced as a
process by project participants rather than on the substantive content or
quality of the project products. The report explores the following
issues:

project management style, effectiveness and appropriateness

partnership and inter-team relationships

expectations and uses which have been prompted by project
participation

An evaluation report commenting on those products of the Project which
are offered to students and their tutors involved in a period of residence
abroad, in order to help them prepare for, profit from and reflect upon
residence abroad as a cultural/intercultural experience. It therefore
focuses on the outcomes of the Project as presented on the website, with
some attention to other elements of the website, which in itself is a
product of the Project.

At the end of the report there is an appendix of
the project team's response to some of the detailed comments in this report.
